Cookie Crew - Got To Keep On

[Darkside0391]

how can i hear the dub or the house mix i went through my records and cant find the 12in.

[smartse1]

If you want a decent quality copy, google "olas un bekons" and you'll find what you need :)

[oldskooler34]

I danced my ass of on this number....But that is way back.

Females like this they don't make no more.

Next generation this is how it's done.

Not like the new crappie hap snap.

[dubhippy]

if you want to hear a quality version of this song, check it out on mp3skull... nice clear treble and no compression artifacts that i can hear. i've been looking for an acceptable SQ version a long time.

[Plexpara]

omg,they just yell to kraftwerk music.bullshit.

[dubhippy]

@Plexpara

and freakin' kraftwer sued afrika bambaataa for counting in japanese! your point?

[SuperPirateTV]

@dubhippy

they not can make music by them self.thats my point.

melodies,beats,you know?

[dubhippy]

@SuperPirateTV

i know what you meant. i was being sarcastic because of your condescension which i can't stand any more than classically trained performers who rag on bands like kraftwerk because they don't play instruments. eff all that noise! all i care about is whether or not i "feel it" and this groove makes me want to dance while musical "prodigies" like tori amos are annoying and bore me to tears. it's the MUSIC that counts, not the technique & yes! i LOVE louie louie!

[101airbourn]

still good

[perky26hughes]

I used 2 love this song! Still do actually!

[lovelymicky1]

Susie Q was my teacher, i remember when she showed us this song

[perky26hughes]

@lovelymicky1 Wow, was she!! How long ago? What did she teach? Music by any chance??

[lovelymicky1]

@perky26hughes well it was in 2005-6 she still teaches, an she taught everything that a primary school teacher teaches really. there was a after school choir though

[cayeshea]

Cookie Crew...South London Girls.....Whoop Whoop!!!!

[AngelArtists]

Can someone PLEASE post a decent audio copy of this (especially the 12" Mix)!!!!

There's not a single one on the net!! :-(

[xtek100]

kraftwerk

[harlingtonstraker]

I love this tune but I wish they had been a little more honest and called it/hat tipped Numbers by Kraftwerk. It was not a sample but the whole backing beat.

Loved the dancing. MC Hammer, go back to Wales, look you.

[dida4g]

Big tune.

I still know the words too.

[themadsamplist]

They were invited to Countdown, a big music show on tv back in the days in the Netherlands, and all bands used to lipsync for the show so it looks and sounds better on tv but the coockie crew were the first group ever to refuse to lipsync and do it live.

[kevzero11]

I used to dance in that style,but my daughter doesn't believe me..

[ttarik1]

@kevzero11 You'll just have to give her a good Demo lesson,at 43 i still can do it pretty good!

[MrMartinv71]

[Dahnje]

[bryngOneOn]

[jimijable]

Just a great skankin' song didn't Freestylers sample the intro.

[statelybird3]

Damn--everybody sampled that beat from Kraftwerk's "Numbers" back in the day---never heard this of this song, but it's banging, and I love old-school hip-hop house or whatever it's called,anyway!

[jimijable]

Oh my god now I know where it's from yeah its used everywhere :D

[grahamjpjones]

I met these two at the then Revivals nightclub in Llandudno way back in 1990 they were awesome

[cjjaxxon]

Almost forgot about the Cookie Crew. Yep! Daddy O produced an album for them and unfortunately I didn't remember this particular song but there's another one I can't remember the name of I used to hear.

[excel502]

Yes i know the tune is from back in the early days of U.K. Hip-Hop (89), i know they sampled the

Kraftwer track Numbers & i know that they sampled Edwin Starr's 25 Miles To Go. Yes i also remember it being on Top Of The Pops. I also know that the album was produced by Daddy-O & D.B.C. of Stetsasonic.

But what i don't know is who is the mixed race guy out of the 3 dancers, because i used to go to Holloway school with him. But i can' t remember his name for love nor money. Can somebody help me.

[davidsan01]

The beat is Kraftwerk, the brass/horn sample is Edwin Starr!

[davidsan01]

Edwin is alive and well, he's playing goalie for Man Utd! He's just aquired a van. lol

Oh come on i'm just having a laugh b4 anyone gets all pc about it!

[stillablaze]

Sick song from back in the day late 80's. Way better than the gangsta crap today.

[leewinterson]

met edwin starr in 92. He turned up to a nightclub event and only had about 20 people in the club. he still preformed his act.(it was not advertised) and he had all of us up on the dance floor dancing with him wilst he sang. he gave all that night and drank with us too. I wasnt a fan but happened to be there. But now im his biggest fan. RIP. what A legend

[qwandiddy]

This is sooooo much better than Bullshit ass Todays MTV, BET Radio, I mean BRITNEY SPEARS, BEYONCE, TPAIN, T.I, LIL WAYNE.

[chimpyboy1971]

@qwandiddy how many times do we read comments like this!!!! kids will be sayin the same shit in 20 years time about todays music. britney spears and beyonce are very VERY succesful artists and will be for many years to come. cookie crew phased out cause they weren`t expandable. this track is great but so is the music we here today...

[qwandiddy]

@chimpyboy1971 Well because you've been brainwashed by your little friends. So Music today is gay and shitty. So odviously you don't know music. And Britney and Beyonce are nobody but sluts anyways so get over it. Anita Baker, SWV, Jill Scott, Roxanne Shante, Angie Stone are way better than them.

[71ibanez]

@qwandiddy well said sir!!!........p.s. i used to love the electro albums!!

[chimpyboy1971]

@chimpyboy1971 shows u dont know what the fuck ur on about u fag, im 40yrs old and remember the likes of roxanne shante etc, used to listen to the old electro albums all the time so make sure u know what ur talkin about b4 u comment. music today is just as good today as it was back then! bet u dont have any friends do u! lmfao @ qwandiddy!!!! and b4 u start tryin to get tough in ur next comment to me just because u know u will never (luckily for u) meet me..IVE SHIT HARDER THAN U LITTLE BOY!!

[gregster1978]

This still sounds amazing. 'We were born, to keep it oooon . . . '

[torreydaman09]

lil kim shouted them out on her mixtape

[patrickd729]

all i know in those days it sounded good on acid!!

[soln4suhreborn]

is that Edwin Starr (RIP) in the video?

[timbalandj]

yes it is

[jaseywasey49]

Yes it was, now I have realised you have already been answered, good tune.

[wutangdelivery]

Can't find the lyrics for this anywhere. Anyone have any help?

[mauvejelly]

east london still rocks. Blackcurrant jazz. no joking now. they rock and so does he.

[mauvejelly]

still fresh

[wgaule]

What would this song be without Kraftwerk?

[2bsom1]

dunno wots the connection?

[wgaule]

The beat is from Numbers by Kraftwerk, originally on the Computer World album!

[soln4suhreborn]

the sample on top of it in the chorus is "Twenty Five Miles" by Edwin Starr and I think that's him in the video.

[cthomann]

What's with all the fretting about being old? I am happy to remember this and have found it again.

[calisouthqueen]

I remeber seeing them on TV and knowing that they didn't play them enough. I used to LOVE them. Boi I'm old for remembering this.

[rowenavf]

I haven't heard this song since I bought it many many years ago on 7 inch - but still remember the words - the b side used to jump really badly on my copy. Jesus I am old!

[Drew1914]

True Dat! These ladies were jamming on this track! R.I.P to Edwin Starr

Peace :-)

[klashnakoff]

love this beat, kraftwerk pumped up. wicked

[grahamjpjones]

aah these girls are awesome, I met them many years ago at our local night club when they were a guest cabaret act, totally cool girls, I also had the pleasure of meeting the now late Edwin Star before that performing his track WAR. He was awesome aswell God rest his soul.

[intecsys]

still got it on vinyl...

[holocactus]

down from the southside...the beat its so futuristic!

the chorus its outside this world!

[kristianjoneid]

awesome song watch mine from top of the pops

[beyo2120]

ahh but see  what yall know about this!? yall dont remember this shit! lol i remember people HATED on the cookie crew though cuz they "rap too fast"..yeah ok.

[jefjays]

@beyo2120 yeah! and Dave Pearce said the same thing about my crew Dynamic 3. Said our rappin was too fast and refused to play our tune. Oh well..those were the dayz Lol.

[101airbourn]

This is an all time classic.

I had it on cassette (remember them), and sadly lost it.I've looked high and low for another copy with no joy, shame.

[fukkingusernames]

Better than Wee Pappa Girl Rappers, more attitude...

[54spiritedwill54]

Back in the day at silver blades in Birmingham!!

[123rx]

Saturday morining memories! Window shopping in Pallasades, Silverblades then McD's on the ramp.

Silverblades is a bowling alley now... :-(

[mirak973]

yeah !! Hype dance inna di place !

[sanjuz]

one of the best from the 80s

[djnastymane]

dj nastymane oldschool dj i love it

[rudedj]

nice to see this again ..

Big up susie Q and Remedee whereever the heck you are ..

London Rhyme Syndicate,

MC Duke

She rockers

London Posse

Overlord X and X-posse

Silver Bullet

and everybody else ..

Back when UK hiphop and rap was healthy and gun and knife free (for the most part )

[eluded1]

lol, this is horrible. some people arn't made to rap and sing, this vid shows a good example.

[bugstrut]

What?!! You're joking, right? If not, I'd be curious to know which rappers you consider to be good.

[svahaid]

brrrap! brrrap! big up London

[dxrushen]

love this song. does anyone have the mp3 please?

[doald]

these girls will take you out!

their dope.

miss kitten said they are the best female rappers of their time and jay-z said they inspired the black album.

[rasrobin]

HIP HOP!

[locorojo25]

could watch and listen to this all day, great singing, great dancin from the guys and girls, and her with the long curly hair, oh man wot a honey

[locorojo25]

shit hot

[miguelkelley123]

Oh no, baby!!!! Catch the beat and this WAS the beginning of Rap in the UK....they served it lovely...

[mbtion]

mics we're burning, cash we're earnin, lessons we're learnin...pretty weak

[doald]

screw you buddy this was recorded in 87 -88

better than 99.9% of shit out there

[mbtion]

better than who??? humor me

[doald]

50 cent , jayz , usher , nelly , and I could go on and on you have to realize this was recorded 20 years ago and if you did know your history they where way ahead of any other females at the time hip hop honors always mentions them. miss elliot even knows that

[mbtion]

i wasnt askin about who where they better then now. back in there day what feamles where they better than?

[doald]

than your mom!

[mbtion]

silly shit, just like i thought

[05istanbul]

bet your no more than 30...dunce!

[mbtion]

you would loose that bet.

[jefjays]

@mbtion they were better than ALL the female rappers in the uk and better than most in the U.S. The Cookie Crew were early pioneers of Hip Hop and rapping in the UK. They won the first national rap contest hosted by Tim Westwood. They were the first girl group to get a record deal and any female rapper who knows anything about the history of hipHop and rapping will tell you that the Cookie Crew were and still are the number 1 female Hip Hop crew.

[mbtion]

@jefjays i honestly cant comment on the rap scene in the UK and i can give them credit for being pioneers (someone had to be first). But have you heard of mc lyte, sweet t, antoinette, yo yo, lady of rage, roxanne shante, sparky d, lin que/isis, latifah (early work), salt n pepa (first 2 albums), bahamadia??? to name a few

[jefjays]

@mbtion I have heard of them all and I take your point. One of my favourite at the time was Dimples D..."I came to the party for a different kind of action, the next thing I know I was doin' the Michael Jackson"....

[doald]

like your biceps

[mbtion]

them broads were weak as shit, and your not even worth any effort

[doald]

I was trying to go to your level!

silly and dont make any sense, you workin with a winnin combonation over there aint ya
